Synthesis and characterization of new spiropyran micrometer-sized photochromic fluorescent polymeric particles of narrow size distribution by a swelling process
Bretler, Sharon,Margel, Shlomo
, p. 68 - 74 (2015)
Photochromic fluorescent uniform micrometer-sized particles were prepared in two ways: (1) Swelling of polystyrene (PS) and poly(styrene-butylmethacrylate) (P(S-BMA)) template particles with spiropyran dye (FSP) to obtain PS/FSP and P(S-BMA)/FSP uniform particles; (2) A similar swelling process, replacing FSP by AIBN, styrene and a spiropyran monomer (MSP), followed by co-polymerization of the monomers within the swollen microspheres to obtain P(S-BMA)/P(S-MSP) uniform particles. The spiropyran dyes are not fluorescent in water or in non-polar organic solvents. In contrast, the dyes encapsulated within the particles exhibit strong red fluorescence in the merocyanine conformation. Fluorescence measurements reveal that the P(S-BMA)/FSP microspheres exhibit higher fluorescence than the PS/FSP particles. The microspheres aqueous dispersion was exposed to alternate UV and visible light cycles and it was found that the fluorescence intensity of the PS/FSP and the P(S-BMA)/FSP particles decreased by 30% of its original value after 5 photoswitching cycles while that of the P(S-BMA)/P(S-MSP) particles remained the same.
Spectroscopic analysis of metal ion binding in spiropyran containing copolymer thin films
Fries, Kristen H.,Driskell, Jeremy D.,Samanta, Satyabrata,Locklin, Jason

In this article, we describe the synthesis and characterization of a series of spiropyran containing copolymers that were used as colorimetric sensors for a series of divalent metal ions. The composition of spiropyran contained in the polymer backbone was varied from 10?100 mol % to investigate the influence of free volume and sterics on the photochromic response. Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the photoinduced conversion, as well as the merocyanine?metal ion (MC?M2+) interaction. FT-IR spectra were analyzed using chemometric methods to elucidate the chemical binding environment between MC and M2+ and to selectively identify different metal ions bound to MC. By means of UV?vis absorption spectroscopy, we also demonstrate that each metal ion gives rise to a unique colorimetric response that is dependent on the amount of spiropyran comonomer contained in the polymer backbone and that by increasing the concentration of chromophore in the copolymer, the selectivity between different metal ions decreases. With the use of chemometric methods, UV?vis spectra can be analyzed to quantitatively identify metal ions in a concentration range from 1 ?M to 100 mM.
Photo, pH, and thermo triple-responsive spiropyran-based copolymer nanoparticles for controlled release

, p. 12633 - 12636 (2015)
A spiropyran-based amphiphilic random copolymer was synthesized and self-assembled into photo-, pH-, and thermo-responsive micellar nanoparticles. The triple-stimuli triggered morphological changes of the nanoparticles were revealed by TEM and DLS. Highly efficient controlled release of encapsulated molecules, coumarin 102, from the nanoparticles under stimulation of UV light, acid and the combined stimuli could be realized.

Encryption is critical to information security; however, existing chemical-based information encryption strategies are still in their infancy. We report here a new approach to chemical encryption involving a supramolecular gel QR (quick response) code wit
